In the 2018 midterm elections, the American people made it clear that they support bold, progressive ideas and diverse new leadership to better represent all Americans at our highest levels of government, rejecting those who sought to advance division and greed.

New, strong leaders are now in Congress and statehouses across the country. Legislation on issues as varied as political reform, health care, voting rights, and economic opportunity, all of which took center stage in the 2018 election cycle, is already being worked on to implement a strong, progressive legislative agenda.

For 16 years, the Center for American Progress has served as an engine for the progressive movement, generating bold policy solutions to problems at home and abroad. For the 2019 CAP Ideas Conference, we’re bringing together the leaders of tomorrow to discuss how to solve today’s problems – the new leaders America has chosen to champion our values in this new era.
